If that has a timing chain, it should have been replaced (and the gears) every 100,000 mi.. That would be my 1st concern... The oil pump must be working fairly well, if you have normal pressure with the recommended oil.. About has to be either the oil pressure sending unit or possibly the pick-up screen.. Has a valve cover been off lately..? I have seen crud as high as the valve spring retainers in 100,000 mi with Quaker State and I changed the oil and filter every 2,000 Mi in my brother's '68 Camaro V-8... Surprisingly, the Bearings were as good as new...but the Varnish had built up to the point that it took a 20 Oz hammer to drive the lifters out..!! If it has that kind of build-up in it, I would drop the oil pan and FLUSH it out with the oil pan and valve covers OFF, then run a Quart of Rislone with the regular oil the next oil change or two.. I would not worry about the bearings..until it really does need a re-build..
